So I am craving a very specific chicken dish, the one that the Persian Guy makes. I could ask for the recipe and I think I will. Will ask the Persian Guy to be a guest on this blog and we can cook and write it up as we go.
Now, yes, I would love to have this recipe for myself, but I can tell you I'd rather have Persian Guy make it. Cause you see, if I make it, it just won't be as fun or delicious. You know, you can get your mom's recipe for lasagna but it's always gonna taste better when she makes it, not because she cooks better than you, but because you're in the company of your mom.
And so it goes with the Persian Guy's Chicken.
I can get the recipe but if he makes it, I get the bonus of Persian Guy company and hospitality.
So, I imagine you're wondering, "what's this chicken like, what's it taste like?"
It's delicious. It's cooked a long time on the stove (the longer the better in my book) Near as I can tell, he takes garlic, onions, salt, and saffron (the dish is very yellow), some sort of fat/oil, and broth and let's it cook covered in the pan for ages, until it's saturated in flavor and moistness. He lets all of the ingredients hang out on the heat of the stove for long long times.. On occasion he has forgotten about the chicken and it cooked down a little further than expected to the point of no water or broth in the pan. I can honestly tell you that it still is delicious! In fact, I kind of tend towards liking a dryer chicken anyway, so when this happens, I'm completely happy and satisfied.
Enjoy this meal with none or all the fixins and a side sipper of cherry infused vodka, Persian style, yum yum!!!
Okay, it's on. I'm putting out the invite for the Persian Guy and we will rewrite this entry under the influence of yellow chicken dish and cherry infused vodka and Persian Guy laughter.
hurray for food fantasies!
